FLAT PACK CHAIR PROJECT:

Students have been asked to design a flat pack chair for a young child and make a half size model from 9mm MDF. The design should allow for easy assembly without tools, it should appeal to the right age child and be safe and sturdy in use. The students will need to research into the sort of things already on the market and how to start designing such an item and find out the correct size. They will then need to produce a card model of their design and plan how the pieces are to be cut from a sheet with the minimum of waste. The pieces will need to be finished to a high standard and the use of colour and decoration considered carefully.

Sounds like lots of fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!
